Where to watch Masjid al-Haram live
The official live broadcast from Masjid al-Haram is Saudi Quran TV (Al-Quran Al-Kareem channel), run by the Saudi Broadcasting Authority. It is carried on satellite and on the authority’s own streaming services and channels.
- Look for the broadcaster’s own name and logo on the stream, and a channel that has broadcast for years rather than days.
- Be wary of “live” videos that ask for donations, show adverts over the picture, or loop the same clip: those are re-uploads.
- The broadcast follows the mosque’s own adhan and prayers, so its times can differ by a minute or two from the times above.
Makkah live in four figures
- UTC+3 Makkah time all year round: Saudi Arabia does not change its clocks IANA time zone database, Asia/Riyadh
- 2–3 h Makkah ahead of the UK: three hours in winter, two in summer IANA time zone database
- 7 days of Makkah prayer times on this page, by the Umm al-Qura method Makkah Live
- 1st house of worship set up for mankind: the Kaaba, at Bakkah Quran 3:96
More than a clock
The first house of worship
Every prayer faces this mosque. Masjid al-Haram surrounds the Kaaba, which the Quran calls the first house established for mankind, at Bakkah (Makkah), blessed and a guidance for the worlds (Quran 3:96). Muslims everywhere face it in every prayer (Quran 2:144).

إِنَّ أَوَّلَ بَيۡتٖ وُضِعَ لِلنَّاسِ لَلَّذِي بِبَكَّةَ مُبَارَكٗا وَهُدٗى لِّلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٩٦
inna awwala baytin wuḍiʿa lilnnāsi lalladhī bibakkata mubārakan wahudan lil'ʿālamīna
Indeed, the first House [of worship] established for mankind was that at Bakkah [i.e., Makkah] - blessed and a guidance for the worlds.
How the Makkah times are worked out
Calculated here, called there. The times above are worked out for Makkah by the same engine as muslimsaroundtheworld.org, with the Umm al-Qura method used in Saudi Arabia. The adhan in the mosque itself is the final word, and the live broadcast follows it, so it can differ by a minute or two.
Makkah time and yours
Three hours ahead of the UK in winter, two in summer. Saudi Arabia keeps Arabia Standard Time all year, so the gap only moves when the UK’s clocks do. For the prayer times where you live, Muslims Around the World has prayer times for cities worldwide.
Makkah live: questions people ask
What time is it in Makkah now?
The clock at the top of the page shows the local time in Makkah (Arabia Standard Time, UTC+3), updated every second.
Is there an official live stream of the Kaaba?
Yes. The Saudi Broadcasting Authority’s Quran channel shows the Kaaba and its mosque live, day and night. Our guide to watching Makkah live shows how to tell it from the many re-uploads.
Why do the times here differ slightly from the broadcast?
The times here are calculated; the mosque’s adhan is called by its own timetable, which can differ by a minute or two.
Does Makkah change its clocks in summer?
No. Saudi Arabia has no daylight saving time, so Makkah stays at UTC+3 from January to December.
